According to Jon Krampner's "Female Brando: The Legend of Kim Stanley," Stanley turned down the role eventually taken by Kate Reid, a coincidence since Reid had replaced Stanley in "A Delicate Balance."

Kim Stanley was originally cast. Some say she pulled out due to illness, some say she was fired because her Method Acting technique infuriated Katharine Hepburn, who told the producers, "Either she goes or I go."

According to Jon Krampner's "Female Brando: The Legend of Kim Stanley," producer Hal Wallis originally offered the part of Alma to Stanley, who refused. He then chose Geraldine Page, creater of the role on stage.

Actor who got the part: Geraldine Page
